An Evaluation of Sport for All Activity in Europe
In June 2006, the Centre for Olympic Studies and Research (COS&R)
was commissioned by the IOC Sport for All Commission to undertake
a year-long review of European National Olympic Committees' responses
to the Declarations made at the World Sport for All Congresses since
1994. The review also sought to provide an overview of policy change
in four main areas on which the Declarations from the World Sport
for All Congresses have focused.
The aim of the study was to provide the IOC with data in order
to develop its Sport for All activities in the future. European
NOCs were surveyed on the following areas:
- The NOC and its relationship to Sport for All policies/programmes
- The role of Sport for All in promoting public health
- The 'crisis' in school sport and physical education
- The economic, social and cultural contributions of Sport for
All to society
- Other governmental/non-governmental policies to support the
development of Sport for All
- An interim report was presented at the World Sport for All Congress
in Havana (31 October - 3 November, 2006), and in May 2007, a
more in-depth report was presented to the IOC Sport for All Commission
in Lausanne. A final report is due in late 2007.
